[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to live in a hip neighborhood in DC. There are plenty of areas where 1,500 is not below average rent, in other areas in DC, Rockville or Silver Spring you can get something more reasonably priced.  If you insist on living beyond your means then it's poor budgeting being food insecure.

I think the resentment comes from knowing that your employer is better off and actually knowing them in person.  If it was a big corporation paying you 15$/hr,  maybe you wouldn't feel quite as bitter.

If you feel it's below what you should be getting then you can look for higher paid opportunities. [/quote]

I don't think OP is resentful of her employers.  In fact, I think she likes her employers.  She was simply stating why it is hard for her to live on $15/hr.  She was actually quite reasonable in her post.  If some of you can easily live on $15/hr, good for you but let's not jump on OP for trying to post useful information that was stated in a polite, thoughtful way.  You don't have to agree but that doesn't make OP resentful or bitter. [/quote]
Exactly. Thank you.[/quote]
